Snow Valley Nordics

Hello skiers one and all! A newsletter is up coming but may not happen soon enough, so here's a quick note/reminder.

Rabbits and adult lessons start this Saturday, Jan. 7. (Rabbits are on the snow at 10:00 a.m., Adult lessons begin at 10:30.)

Our Open House will be Sunday, Jan. 8from 1- 4 pm. Volunteers required. Bring all your friends! Bring cookies/snacks. $2 rentals and free everything else. McBike Smithers will be there with a booth.

With our truly awesome snow conditions I thought you might like to know that the full moon is on Jan. 12. Perfect nights for a moonlight ski will be on the 10th and 14th, when moonrise is about 8 pm. It'll be 10 pm on the 12th so a bit late. Get out and enjoy this truly exceptional weather!

Those of you who've registered your kids in the JackRabbits program for 2017 and have your gear for the season, you can disregard this notice.

The rest of you--especially those who need to rent gear, take notice that we will be holding a mini-rental day on Dec. 29th 1-4 for JackRabbits families. $75 for a set (skis, boots, poles) for the season. We CAN NOT get all of you set up on the morning of the first lesson, so please try to attend this rental opportunity!

There are already more than 50 registrants for JackRabbits; if you haven't registered yet, please register ASAP, as the coaches will have a cut-off number which we are quickly approaching.

It’s snowing at the trails everybody! Ski season has arrived! Yes indeed, the executive arrived at the lodge for our monthly meeting on Tuesday and found several inches on the ground and more falling periodically. We need 2 ft. on the ground before we can groom but meanwhile we can ski with rock skis and no grooming if we like. The gate will remain closed until we do start grooming so use the front parking lot. At that time we will also begin checking for passes, (season and day use) so make sure you’re wearing it. The paid seasons passes will be in the mail next week.

It’s time to buy your seasons passes for the Ski Trails! Time is running out to get your early bird savings and bonuses. For example, one adult Seasons Pass can be purchased now for $110, that is a $20 savings off our regular rate. Plus we include two free day ski passes with that membership that you can share with whoever you choose, another $24 value. (Please note there is a limit of two free day passes per household)

And this year, we will enter your name in our early bird draws for a free Seasons Pass next year along with a few donated prizes. Our Draw dates are November 11th and December 2nd. One Seasons Pass for next year is available in each draw. This year's membership will have to be purchased to be eligible.

Hi everyone! The snow is finally on the mountains and that means that ski season is coming! (So I went and bought new skis! Yay!)

I’m not the only happy skier around; we’ve got over 60 members already signed up for this season, who therefore have their name in the Nov. 11th draw for a free membership for the 2017-2018 ski season. There will be another draw on Dec. 1st and CCBC (Cross Country BC) will then be counting memberships and awarding prizes to the club with highest percentage of last year's membership totals, so get your forms in (mail) or go online to sign up! Remember, the Early Bird gets the prize!
